TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel antibacterial agent and a novel 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine derivative.

BACKGROUND ART

Many infectious diseases have been overcome by development of various bactericides/disinfectants, antibiotics, and synthetic antibacterial agents, and the average life span of human beings has been considerably extended. On the other hand, however, many bacteria resistant to these drugs appear and, at the same time, in elderly people, so-called opportunistic infection with bacteria which are usually weak in their infectious power has been increased due to a cause such as reduction in immunity, and increase in hospital infection and population infection in other facilities has become a great social problem. Especially in recent years, infectious diseases which cannot be treated by conventional drugs, including those caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) or, nowadays those caused by vancomycin-resistant MRSA, multiple drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pneumococcus and Serratia bacteria, have increased rapidly, and development of effective methods of preventing or treating such diseases is now keenly desired.

Since the discovery of 4,6-diamino-1-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,2-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-s-triazine (Cycloguanil) which is an active metabolite of an anti-malaria agent Proguanil fifty several years ago (Journal of Pharmacology 1947, Vol. 2, p. 161-168; British H. C. Carrington et al., Nature 1951, Vol. 168, p. 1080), various patent applications or study reports have been made.

For example, E. J. Modest et al., Journal of the American Chemical Society 1952, Vol. 74, p. 855-856 describes anti-vitamin activity and anti-malaria activity of 4,6-diamino-2,2-dimethyl-s-triazine derivatives. E. J. Modest et al., Journal of Organic Chemistry 1956, Vol. 21, p. 1-13, p. 14-20 describes 4,6-diamino-1,2-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-1-phenyl-s-triazines regarding anti-vitamin, anti-malaria, anti-cancer and anti-coccidium activities. U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,451 describes the use of 1-(3-phenylpropyl)-2,4-diamino-6,6-dimethyl-1,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazines as an insecticide. EP No. 0504290 describes that 4,6-diamino-1,2-dihydro-1-phenyl-s-triazines have an action of inhibiting growth of Pneumocystic carinii. WO 01/53276 describes the use of 1-p-chlorophenyl-4,6-diamino-1,2-dihydro-1,3,5-triazine and the like as an anthelmintic (anti-malaria agent etc.). However, the aforementioned known references do not refer to antibacterial activity at all.

U.S. Pat. No. 3,682,912 describes 4,6-diamino-1,2-dihydro-1,3,5-triazine derivatives as a compound having antibacterial activity in addition to anti-malaria activity, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,723,429 describes 4,6-diamino-1,2-dihydro-1,3,5-triazine derivatives as an anti-malaria/antibacterial active compound. However, since compounds described in these known references have all a substituent at position 1 of the 1,2-dihydro-1,3,5-triazine ring using —O— as an intervening group, they are different compounds from those of the present invention, and no data of antibacterial activity are described therein.

U.S. Pat. No. 3,287,365 describes a compound represented by the following formula (4) having herbicidal activity in Working Example 5, but antibacterial activity thereof is not described at all.

U.S. Pat. No. 3,287,366 describes a compound represented by the following formula (5) having herbicidal activity in Working Example 3, but nothing is known about antibacterial activity thereof.

Andre Rosowsky et al., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 1995, Vol. 39, p. 79-86 describes a compound represented by the following formula (6) as a dehydrofolate reductase inhibitor (anthelmintic (anti-malaria)). However, the aforementioned known reference does not describe antibacterial activity of the same compound at all.

(wherein R₂′ represents an optionally substituted alkyl group of 1 to 16 carbon atoms, R_(1a) represents the aforementioned R₁ or R₁₁, and other all symbols are the same as defined above)

A process for preparing a compound represented by the general formula (1) wherein R₂ is an alkyl group (R₂′) of 1 to 16 carbon atoms is shown in Preparation method 1. According to the present process, first, a compound (7) is converted into an acid addition salt (e.g. salt of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc.), and is reacted with sodium dicyanamide (compound (8)) in a solvent (e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, N,N-dimetylformamide) to prepare a cyanoguanidine derivative (compound (9)). The compound (9) may be prepared similarly by reacting a compound (7) with a compound (8) in the presence of an equivalent of an acid (e.g. hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc.) without converting the compound (7) into an acid addition salt. Amount of the compound (8) to be used is about 1 to 2 mol equivalents, preferably about 1 to 1.3 mol equivalents to 1 mole of a compound (7), and the reaction temperature is usually about 60° C. to 150° C., preferably about 80° C. to 120° C. The produced compound (9) is obtained in the form of a salt with an acid used, or may be recovered in the form of a free base by neutralization with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, if necessary.

Then, the compound (9) is reacted with an alkylamine (compound (10)) in the presence of an acid (e.g. hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid etc.) in a solvent (e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, benzene, toluene, xylene, mesitylene, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide) to prepare a biguanide derivative (compound (11)). The acid and the compound (10) are used in an amount of about 1 to 2 mol equivalents, preferably about 1 to 1.3 mol equivalents to 1 mole of the compound (9), and the reaction temperature is usually about 60° C. to 170° C., preferably about 110° C. to 150° C. The produced compound (11) is obtained in the form of a salt with an acid used, or can be recovered in the form of a free base by neutralization using sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, if necessary.

Then, the compound (11) is reacted with a compound (12) to prepare a compound (13) or (14), (14′) or (14″) which is an objective compound. The compound (11) may be used in the reaction in the form of an acid addition salt or a free base. As a compound (12), in addition to ketones and aldehydes, equivalents thereof such as acetals may be used. The present reaction is performed in a solvent which is the compound (12), or in a mixed solvent obtained by adding other solvent (e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide and a mixed solvent thereof) to the compound (12), or in a solvent in the presence of an acid (e.g. hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc.) or abase (e.g. piperidine, pyridine, triethylamine, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.). In the present reaction, products are different depending on the kind of R_(1a) and the reaction conditions. Usually, in the presence of an acid, a mixture of a compound (14) and a compound (13) is produced and, when R_(1a) is a phenyl group, a compound (13) is preferentially produced. On the other hand, in the presence of a base, a compound (14) is preferentially produced in many cases regardless of the kind of R_(1a). The amount of an acid and a base to be used is about 0.1 to 3 mol equivalents, preferably about 0.3 to 1.5 mol equivalents, relative to 1 mole of a compound (11).

In the presence of an acid, a compound (13) and a compound (14) are obtained as a salt with an acid used, or is recovered in the form of a free base by neutralization using sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, etc., if necessary. An acid salt or a free base of a compound (13) and a compound (14) can be separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography or recrystallization.

In addition, the resulting compound (13) or a mixture of compounds (13) and (14) can be heated in water or a hydrous solvent (e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, etc.) to convert into a compound (14). The reaction temperature is usually about 50° C. to 100° C., preferably about 80° C. to 100° C. A compound (14′) is a tautomer of a compound (14).

When a free base of the above-obtained compound (13), (14), (14′) or (14″) is extracted with an acetic acid ester (e.g. ethyl acetate), it can be converted into an acetate salt in accompany with hydrolysis of acetic acid ester. Alternatively, the compound may be led to an appropriate organic or inorganic acid addition salt using the aforementioned acid or acid salt (e.g. sodium chloride, sodium bromide, sodium acetate, potassium acetate, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, etc.) in water, a solvent (e.g. ethanol, methanol, acetonitrile, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc.), or a hydrous solvent, and these acid addition salt may be purified by recrystallization or chromatography.

The compound (16) may be similarly prepared by reacting a compound (7) with a compound (15) in the presence of an equivalent of an acid (e.g. hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc.) without converting the compound (7) into an acid addition salt. The amount of the compound (15) to be used is about 1 to 2 mol equivalents, preferably about 1 to 1.3 mol equivalents relative to 1 mole of the compound (7), and the reaction temperature is usually about 60° C. to 150° C., preferably about 80° C. to 100° C. The produced compound (16) is obtained in the form of a salt with an acid used, or may be recovered in the form of a free base by neutralization using sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, etc., if necessary.

<Antibacterial Activity Test>

Regarding compounds obtained in respective Working Examples, in order to investigate antibacterial activity, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined according to a standard method of Japanese Society of Chemotherapy.

As a test bacterium, nine kinds of S. aureus 209PJC, MRSA 97-115, MRSA KM 97-53, MRSA KM97-108, VRE 49, E. coli NIHJ JC-2, P. aeruginosa PAO-1, P. aeruginosa No. 12, P. aeruginosa KM97-5 were used and, as a medium, Mueller-Hinton Broth (DIFCO) was used. One platinum loop of a test bacterium was inoculated into 20 ml of a medium, and static culture was carried out at 37° C. for 16 to 20 hours, and then each bacterium species was diluted with a sterilized physiological saline to 10⁵/ml, which was used as a test bacterium solution.

Then, each compound was dissolved in methanol, subjected to ½ stepwise dilution with a medium to prepare a medium for measuring sensitivity, and each 2 ml was dispensed into a test tube. A compound concentration in a medium was adjusted to 100 μg/ml and its 2^(n)-fold (n=−10 to 1). 25 μl of a test bacterium solution was inoculated into each sensitivity medium and, after cultured at 37° C. for 20 to 24 hours, determination was performed, and a minimum concentration at which growth was completely inhibited (minimal inhibitory concentration, MIC) was measured. As a control drug, a similar test was performed using 20% chlorhexidine gluconate solution (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.).
